Seasonal Opening and Closing Services

Spring Opening

A professionally-designed underground sprinkler system sprays the right amount of water at the right time, automatically! Let our trained technician properly open your existing irrigation system for the new season. We will turn on the water supply, set the clock to optimize on watering times, adjust sprinkler heads and drip zones, and ensure you’re abiding by the water conservation regulations in your area.

Fall Closing

To prevent expensive damage to your sprinkler system during New England’s harsh winter, it’s necessary to schedule a complete and proper sprinkler blowout when closing down your irrigation system in the fall. Even the slightest bit of water is susceptible to freezing in low temperatures, and causing pipes to crack. It is worth investing in a certified technician to ensure, not only that your underground irrigation system will be closed down correctly, but that no one is injured in the process.

Blowing out a sprinkler system involves several important steps. For example, first our technician will determine in which order to close the zones, which varies depending on the system. Throughout the process, they will be sure no air continues to get pumped into the system once it’s dry, as this can cause heat damage. Furthermore, it is imperative that all valves are not shut off at once while the air compressor is still running, as this can also cause serious and costly damage to the system.

Another benefit to hiring a professional is their training and experience in navigating a sometimes hazardous process. An air compressor uses great strength and can be very harmful, especially to the eyes. Once the compressor is hooked up, air must be slowly released into the sprinkler system.

By choosing not to have your system blown out by a professional, you risk having to repair your system in the spring, due to a problem that could have been prevented. Call J. Michael today with any questions or to schedule your irrigation service.
